it would be nice to be able to buy a card with bitcoin on it at the local stores

you already have some tested ways to buy a prepaid HW.1 card which are described in the specification - either remotely, by locking the card to a PIN before it's sent (see 'forward setup' in the setup command), or locally, by splitting the seed in two parts to make sure the merchant is honest (see 'point of sale' in the setup command)

buying a prepaid card immediately available in a store is a bit more complex, because you have many parties to protect against, but it's quite possible to design a custom version for a specific vendor scheme.

Can you tell me ETA of the shipment? I just want to enter the address according to it. Smiley

According to french postal service, 1 week to deliver to India. So this is better than BFL, but with absolutely no commitment.

(if you already ordered, then PM me the reference and I can tell you if it was shipped on our side - all orders passed before the 12th were shipped)

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
Great project! Looking forward about it! Smiley I live in India. Can I use standard shipping? Is there any way to import private key? I mostly use vanity address, so it would help me.

Thanks ! You can always try standard shipping, absolutely no warranties as I've never tried a standard delivery to India Smiley

You cannot import a private key in regular wallet mode to avoid losing keys, but you can play with it in developer mode if you want (no wallet is supporting this mode for the time being though) - we might support sweeping a few keys in a future release if we get enough code space to add that feature.

Looks great.

I noticed that you charged 20% VAT even though I'm outside of the EU. Is this correct?

Yes, it's a personal sale (unless you're a business, in which case you shouldn't order here according to the Terms & Conditions that nobody is reading anyway  Grin), so it's fine to apply the VAT policy of the local country up to a given volume (usually in the 100k€ range, so we're not there yet in two days, maybe after a few more days)

I see.  It is my understanding that exported goods are exempt from VAT.

this attracts me but actually Its uses are not clear
I understand this stores the private key,but when using it,is it neccessary that the private key is stored anywhere? I mean,in the pc that you use or online.
can you erase the wallet and create new wallet? Can you use more this store more than one private key at the same time?

it's a Hierarachical Deterministic wallet - it derives an "infinity" of keys based from a seed. The whole point is that any private key never leaves the device. The seed leaves the device at one point to let you backup it in case you lose it, then it can never be accessed.



So the seed is store anywhere else? Like computer or online server? Or only in the key?


the seed (or rather the first derivation of the seed) is stored into the card and nowhere else after it is displayed the first time.

yeah, most recent Androids should support OTG  Grin
Yeah, they should. I didn't even know my phone had it until I used needed to connect one of my USB Storage keys to it. Also, please ship faster. You are making me way to excited for this little gadget.

That is awesome! My phone has OTG support, but I never used it, because I didn't need it. Now I have a purpose for it. Grin

Can this be used on an Android smartphone? ie, connect to phone via USB OTG cable. Any supported wallets on Android?

Yes. It is supported by GreenAddress today - on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.greenaddress.cordova (Play Store) or https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=it.greenaddress.cordova (F-Droid)

My payment has confirmed. How long does it take before it gets shipped out and what is the average shipping time to The Netherlands? Sorry, I am really excited, haha.

Shipments done today + those lagging behind should be done tomorrow - we have a bit of a backlog that should be solved by then.
